Russian history: “We think we have lost”

in number «Reforms» Peter I, who tried to finish everything in Russia, in particular, was not allowed to wear Russian clothes, for which the penalty was imposed.

Today, when you talk about it, it often seems to be a reaction to this: Do you want to convert us into Qutan, Army, Zippoon??!.

Displeasure and honestly. And if you think about it?

I am convinced that in those days of Peter the Great, such people would have opposed innovation with the same enthusiasm: do you go to wear foreign clothes?!.

As of today, traditional Russian clothes seem to be foreign, strange and uncomfortable, similarly our ancestors treated European costumes. They are familiar with childhood, are addicted to them. Only their feelings were not considered..

If someone was sure that the newer was better, more convenient, «More progressive», He should consider this kind of suspicious statement well.

In any country, the clothes of every country are most suitable for a given nation, specific circumstances, for example, climate. It has modified, improved and reached some heights of perfection..

And, most importantly, was more familiar. Soon and easy no person will change in new clothes, even if they are better. We need a lot of effort. It was done by Peter I.

A significant nuance difference European clothes were not delivered to the beneficiaries in vain, they themselves were to be sewn or bought by Russians. Imagine yourself at their place. You are ordered to change the normal clothes – For example, in tuxedos, tails or kimono and saris So you have to spend your personal money on this. Not everyone has extra money, most of the population then counted every penny. For this reason alone, it was very difficult for many people to take part in traditional clothes..

Well, what to do with it? Throw away? Think so much before doing this. If you imagine yourself in a similar situation, you will better understand what happened when «King correctional»…

I had been touching sensitive words with an overwhelming comment at the address of former Russian clothing. I know that he is not worthy of this attitude. On the contrary, Russian clothes at that time were very nice, beautiful, comfortable. It is convenient for those who are accustomed to wearing it. And seeing a major mistake, modern standards: We have been accustomed to the present clothing for a long time and consider this to be the limit of perfection..

Note, for example, for Kimono. Japanese wear it even today. Who is in Japan, he saw it I read it: «There is a kimono in the wardrobe of every Japanese». Everyone! Although, at least, our Russians are not more comfortable with the old clothes. Compare and be sure to easily..

And other nations have not forgotten their clothes. Not only are they honored, but are worn. Why are we different? In my entire life, I never met a man in a Russian traditional dress on the street. Those people only seen on stage or on TV.

(Other people start to argue: what is «Russian clothes»? They point to something: They say that it is not Russian, they have taken it from another nation. I ask them questions: Is there at least one nation which is specially of its own, purely national, it does not like at all? There is no one in particular in this strict educational meaning of the word here. «Russian»: What the Russian people wore was Russian…)

no at all «Backward» Russian clothes. Tom is an example of an excuse ball, which was arranged for the Zar Court in 1903, all before Peter Day in Great Britain to appear in his organizations in old Russia. These are:

+ Zar Nicholas II and Alexander in royal dress.

+ Grand Duke Andrei Vladimirovich.

+ Princess Elena Kocube.

+ Grand Duke Mikhail Alexandrovich.

+ Grand Duke Mikhail Alexandrovich.

+ Countess Elizabeth Mousina-Pushkin.

+ Grand Duke Sergey Alexandrovich.

+ Royal bride bride.

+ Castle girls.

It is clear that these are the clothes of the highest layers of old Russian society. But in the lower classes, it was better, comfortable and very common than foreign clothes. By the way, foreigners often complained that it was difficult to separate the princes, boys and traders from lower rank people – blacksmiths, hunters, potter and others. Very dressed.

+ Maybe she wore.

+ Russian Beauties of that time.

+ Russian family on Palm Sunday.

+ Russian women dress.

+ And they are swearing on the Russian shroud.

+ Sarmayag is a kind of Kaftan.

+ Also, you do not get good clothes.?..

+ Beauty pageant!..

This is how we lost our beautiful clothes after the pseudo-reforms of Anti-Russian Peter I. It is clear that in the past centuries it had changed a lot in itself, it was changed, keeping the same essence – Russian.

See other countries: What are the bad Kimono, Sarees, Sarongs, Chapans and so on? Other nations keep them safe. And we almost lost to regret. Perhaps at least partially and reasonably restore?..

+ These are our young Russian beauties.

+ Russian boy in shirt.
